SlingPlayer Mobile for Blackberry to launch

Things you might also like

We'd brought you the news that this was in the pipeline, but it's now officially dated, as Sling Media has announced its mobile product is going into beta for BlackBerry smartphones.

SlingPlayer Mobile will let you watch and control your home TV and DVR via your Slingbox on your BlackBerry, but at launch, only some of RIM's phones will be compatible and the new flagship Storm isn't on the list.

The public beta of the service is due to go live on 30 December. For information on SlingPlayer Mobile for BlackBerry smartphones including device support, operator support and system requirements, you can visit http://uk.slingmedia.com/go/blackberry.
